Datacom conversion

Moving the mainframe application layer of CA Datacom/DB to DB2 or Oracle, without a hand-written rewrite.

This is a well-worn path for us, and it is highly automated. We provide a turnkey solution for migrating the mainframe application layer of CA Datacom/DB to DB2 and Oracle.

What is included

  • Schema generation for your target database
  • SQL generation for all data operations
  • Replacement of every Datacom command with an equivalent call to the SQL layer
  • Refactoring of calls to the new SQL layer
  • JCL updates where required
  • Support for code updates while the project is running, so your team is not frozen
  • A workflow process controlling scheduling and priority ordering of the conversion

How it runs

You provide the application, we scope the effort, give you a solution overview, complete the conversion and hand the code changes back.

Code cannot leave your environment? That is common and it is not a problem. We deploy a project-based license onto a server inside your environment and work over VPN. Nothing has to move.

Scope a Datacom migration

A short conversation is usually enough for us to say honestly whether we can help, and roughly what it would take. No obligation either way.
